Remember that Australian mom that went viral for her casual public breastfeeding photo taken at her sister’s wedding? Well, it seems weddings are becoming the hot spot to do that because another woman has gone viral for the same thing.
Naomi Jael Covert, a 21-year-old full-time army wife from Vilseck, has the Internet buzzing after she posted a picture of herself breastfeeding her 10-month-old at a wedding. Take a look at the photo below thanks to Covert’s Instagram:
The photo blew up and racked up over 12,000 likes after Empowered Birth Project shared it on their Instagram.
While the reaction has mainly been positive, Covert says she is surprised at the negative backlash she has received; comments like “hide under a rock,” or “throw a blanket on.” But Covert says that the other wedding guests didn’t have an issue with it: “It’s just normal — you have conversations with people while feeding the child” she says. “It is nothing sexual. It’s just another person eating.”
And something tells me that “person eating” went for seconds.
And hey, here’s more of Covert:
